1
Boil the Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
2
Steep the Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 4 black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for about 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
3
Remove Tea Bags
After steeping, remove the tea bags and discard them. If desired, add sugar or honey at this stage while the tea is still warm, stirring until dissolved.

4
Cool the Tea
Let the brewed tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until chilled.
5
Prepare Glasses
In a glass, add 1 cup of ice cubes. If using, add lemon slices, mint leaves, or peach slices for flavor.
6
Pour and Enjoy
Pour the chilled tea over the ice in the glass. Enjoy your refreshing iced tea!
